Shcrews! Can i ask you whats your top pics for strains this year

I want to grow a little bit of everything

Does anybody know the Name of afkansastan x snowlotus ==??(name)

I don't know if those were ever officially released by bodhi

shcrews, About the starter mix ,my experience with foxfarm ocean forest, has been real good, the price is the most reasonable at 10$ a bag if you look around, But i usually amend it a bit, I like to put in small amount of plane clay dirt into mix ,as well as gypsum,bat guano,worm castings,mycorrhizae,epsom's salt, My plants could not have looked any heather !!!

using bagged soil = rolling the dice. And without a lab test how do you know what to amend?

 

[Shcrews]

Schrews, how did the sky lotus compare to the ancient og? When did it finish compared to your other strains?

I ordered 6 packs each of sky lotus, goji og, and mothers milk.... thinking i'll run them all but a little worried about finish time on them.

Sky lotus and ancient OG are very different in how they grow, but the weed is pretty similar. The sky lotus finishes a bit later than the AOG but they are both done around mid October. If you want early finishers look into bodhi's bubba kush or sugePK crosses. They won't get as big though

I had to choose between a pack of mothers milk or strawberry milk. I took the strawberry . Very eager to see how they turn out

Strawberry milk sounds awesome. I just put my first batch of bodhi goodness into flower. I'm super stoked. hopefully I will get some awesome keeper's. I have goji , black triangle, love triangle, and Jungle Spice. Hoping to get the narco strawberry pheno. Haven't heard much about the black triangle, or jungle spice. Can't wait

glad to see the new thread.
i haven't seen it's beach in years - shout out WESSSSSIIIIDE!!
did you use logan for your soil tests?
i sent mine out this morning
if your coming up north dayze's in dredway has some decent little 10'x20' greenhouses with zipper rollup doors on the ends for like 700 or 800 bucks complete.

 

[Shcrews]

you talking multi plant mounds temporally and waiting to decide on the best female , giving them more of a grow before you choose? or leaving 3 in like last year full term ?

did 3 in a spot pay off last year for you ? i just find plants grown individually always seem to do better ? what do you think .

is it worth the risk with another inspection this year and the extra stress ? if those guys really investigated and found it was actually 3 plants last year , whats there course of action ? pull 2 or you lose the whole show ? just curious , cause if its the whole show thats one hell of a gamble .

i may have misunderstood what you meant ?

i meant planting more than one female per pot for the whole season.

Its definitely a risk vs reward situation.

Bud is a yorkshire terrier, a pretty big one , he weighs 16 lbs last time we checked. hes a great dog

I love its beach, its my spot except its been flooded a lot for the last few weeks. Crazy storms...

This year i used Fruit Growers Lab cuz thats where i sent my samples last year. Should have my soil test results any day now...

Hiya Schrews! What was your favorite smoke you grew last year?

Never mind, found the answer..don't mind me, baked over here, carry on.

Yo! Just catching up on the new thread. Nice to see your doing mounds! Think you are going to really see a big difference. I'm going 100% smart pot free this year. I did big row mounds like byf and ran out of room early with 12' spacing. Going to space 14' and cut down some trees this year and hope to finally get a 20#'r. Some of my sky lotus's were 15-17 were getting short sun towards the end.
-PPD is the shit. Well literally yeah but that was my favorite new product last year. Almost started liking the smell after a while
- just popped my seeds for dep. Got bunch of those blueberry snow freebies exited to see what those come out like. Do you know anything about cobra lips? Trying to figure out my full season plan. Might go like 70% sky lotus. Kind of interested in seeing what the dream lotus is capable of too.
Anyway stoked to see you back. This just got me motivated for a new season

I germinate my seeds in 4" pots or red cups, then after 2 weeks transplant into 5 or 7 gallon smarties. Someone recommended I should use 10gal airpots so I might try some 10's this year too but iike 7 gal smarties the best

They usually take 4-6 weeks to show sex, sometimes longer. I had 99% accuracy last year ID'ing females in may

Hope you kill it this year, good luck!

Hope its been a good offseason.

You'll only need the 12.5 or 20 liter Airpot for your starts, don't even know if they make a 10 gallon but it would be overkill for starts. I've got the 12.5 liter (which Airpot likens to a 5 gallon, eventhough 12.5 liters is only 3.3 gallons) size and don't think I'd need anything bigger. Great product.

Will the the airpots get root bound?

Soil test results for "Coots mix with chicken compost"

Soil test results for "Coots mix with chicken compost"

these are the test results from two year old Coots Mix with chicken compost. It performed well last year.



However, I also sent in another sample of the same soil, but from a different 800gal pot which had some issues with stunted growth.So those results are in the next post.
